The first item on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to consider a request for a Dimensional Variance for Macedonia Primitive Baptist Church located at 1714 W. 13th Street in a GC -2, General Commercial Zoning District, for the purpose of reducing front yard, side yard and rear yard setback requirements: Front Yard 25' required; 17' proposed, a variance of 8 feet; Side Yard 10' required; 7' proposed, a variance of 3 feet; Rear Yard 20' required, 5' proposed, a variance of 15 feet. Owner: Macedonia Primitive Baptist Church; Representative: Horace Bullard. Horace Bullard was present for representation. He stated that he is a member and an officer of the Trustee Board of Macedonia Church. Mr. Bullard stated that they would like to improve the present building. This portion of 13th Street is a slum area. There are quite a few buildings that need to be torn down. They would like to start a face lift on this end of 13th Street. Mr. Bullard stated that the Church building is rather small. They are in need of storage space. Presently, they have some equipment along the wall of the sanctuary that should be in storage. The Baptismal Pool is outside in the rear and they would like to move it to the inside of the building. Also, they would.like to have a place that the Pastor can have a study for counseling. Mr. Robert stated that there is a chain link fence in the rear of the building and asked who owns it. Mr. Bullard stated that the chain link fence is on the property line, that he did not know for sure, but he thinks that it belongs to the neighbor. Mr. Robert stated that the proposed building would go back 30' to the north, and would be as close as 31 or 32' to the fence. He asked if there would be a survey that shows the exact location of the building. Mr. Bullard stated that presently there is a total of 35' between the building and the fence. The addition would allow 5' between the fence and the building. Mr. McClanahan moved on approval. Mr. Brooks seconded. Mr. Robert asked Mr. Marder if he was comfortable with the provisions of the location of the building as currently written in Staff's recommendations. Mr. Marder stated that it appears to be close and that he would feel comfortable if the City did in fact have a survey of that property to verify setbacks from the property line. Mr. McClanahan stated that a two story addition is being proposed. Before the Church will be able to obtain a building permit, it will have to bring in a survey and would have to have the 5' rear yard setback before it is approved. Mr. Brooks cited a portion of Staff's recommendations: "Prior to issuance of a building permit, the site will undergo the City's site plan approval process and shall be subject to any and all conditions and stipulations of such process ". He stated that with the provisions Staff has MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF FEBRUARY 1, 1996 PAGE 2 incorporated, there should not be any problems. All in favor of the Motion. Motion carried. The next item on the Agenda was the consideration of the Site Plan for Sadisco, an auto auction facility located at 3701 Sanford Avenue in a MI -2, Medium Industrial Zoning District. (Tabled 1/18/96). Owner: Sadisco of Florida; Representative: James T. Melvin, Architect. Mr. Robert moved to remove from the table. Seconded by Mr. McClanahan. All in favor. Motion carried. Walter Powers, 1410 Debary Blvd., Florence, SC, stated that they have made a concerned effort to work with Staff. The plan meets and exceeds codes on several issues. The use involves damaged vehicles. He stated that this is a clean use, orderly and well organized. There will be no dismantling. The cars would be parked on an average of 6 weeks, sold and taken out as is. Mr. Marder stated that Staff's recommendations were written last week. The City has been receiving materials each day from Sadisco. In addition to the full set of plans, the City received a drawing yesterday on which the applicants are proposing additional landscaping along Sanford Avenue and along the edge of all paved surfaces. Mr. McClanahan questioned the elaborate landscaping plan and asked if this was a City requirement or if this was a part of the applicants proposal. Mr. Marder stated that the City has the authorization to require additional landscaping as set forth in the Code. Lake Mary Blvd., as a gateway to the City, has the type of use that needs to be visually buffered in a more elaborate fashion than normal. That buffer must be located where it conforms to the future expansion of E. Lake Mary Blvd. Mr. McClanahan questioned the 8' portion of the fence. Mr. Marder stated that there was concern that the 8' portion of the fence is needed in certain sections, and in others areas, such as where the building is, 6' is sufficient. Mr. McClanahan stated that 6 1 , decorative, is attractive. Mr. Powers stated that he recognizes that Staff has the discretion to exceed the Code is some areas and that they do not have a problem with this. They are willing to meet the conditions of Staff provided that those conditions don't exceed what is being proposed on the plan. Mr. McClanahan questioned the 8' high stockade fence on Lake Mary Blvd. Mr. Powers stated that they wanted to go with the 6' fence, but if Staff wants 8 this is what they will install. Mr. Marder stated that he had thought the agreement was for a 6' fence. Mr. Powers noted that the fence would be shielded by landscaping. Mr. Marder stated that there was no problem with a 6' vs. an 8' fence. Mr. Valerino asked when were Staff comments signed. Mr. Marder said that they were signed the day before yesterday and that Staff did not have the final landscaping plans. Mr. Valerino moved for approval subject to comments contained on Site Plan Review - Site Recommendations, including final engineering plans, along with the 6' fence vs. an 8' fence. Seconded by Mr. Robert. All in favor. Motion carried. Next on the Agenda was the consideration of the Site Plan for Hill Dermaceuticals, Inc., a manufacturing, packaging and storage facility of skin care products (office /warehouse /aircraft hangar) at the Orlando Sanford Airport located at 2650 Mellonville Avenue in a RI -1, Restricted Industrial Zoning District. Tax Parcel No.: 06- 20 -31- 300- 0010 -0000 (Portion) ; Owner: City of Sanford - Sanford Airport Authority; representative: Bob Wise - Hill Derm. /Tim Fierro, Contractor - GCI, Inc. Tim Fierro, General Contracting, Inc. was present for representation. He stated that this would be fuel storage for private use only. There will be a screened 8' masonry block wall around the fuel storage. He stated that they do not have any MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF FEBRUARY 1, 1996 PAGE 3 problems with Staff's recommendations. Mr. Robert questioned the existing well. Mr. Fierro stated that they had to have a licensed well capper come in and cap the well. The Airport Authority has accomplished this. Mr. Robert moved on approval per Staff's recommendations. Seconded Mr. McClanahan. All in favor. Motion carried. The next item was the consideration of the Site Plan for Lot 32, Sanford Central Park, a wholesale or storage use proposed at 205 Coastline Road and 100/106 Tech Drive in a RI -1, Restricted Industrial Zoning District. Tax Parcel No.: 28- 19- 30- 5JB -0000- 0320; Owner: C B C Industrial Park Inc.; Representative: H.D. Holsombach. Dick Holsombach, 1218 E. Langley Ct., Lake Mary, Fl., stated that through several meetings with Staff, all questions that have surfaced have been resolved. He stated that one building will be an antique automobile restoration facility, another will be storage for classic automobiles for national show purposes, and the other building will be a state of the art distribution center. Mr. Robert asked why the departure from many previous site plans, with the finished floor elevation being higher. Mr. Holsombach stated that it is designed to facilitate drainage off -site. There will be storm inlets on the corner and on the south side of the site. He noted that chain link fencing is not being proposed at this time, but that possibly the owner of the antique restoration facility may want a fence and at that time he will comply with the requirements of the City. Mr. McClanahan moved for approval subject to Staff's recommendations. Seconded by Mr. Brooks. All in favor. Motion carried. Next was the consideration of the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for Canal Street Station (Northgate PD), located at the southwest corner of Rinehart Road and SR 46 in a PD, in a PD, Planned Development Zoning District. Owner: Seminole Farms Trust IV; Representative: King Heli /Rick Labinsky. Rick Labinsky of Consultect Engineering, Orlando, was present for representation. He stated that this is a preliminary subdivision plan that is a part of the Northgate PD. The property is just to the east of Gateway. He stated that this will be more of an outparcel development. What is proposed is a one phase plan. Site plans will follow for each parcel. Mr. Robert questioned the tie - in to Smith Canal. Mr. Labinsky stated that the Canal passes through this property. There is one restricting culvert on the north side and there is a couple of box culverts that will take water to 46. The plan calls for two small boxes to be put in at the same size as the two that are out there now. Mr. Robert asked what form does the Canal take at the edge of this property. Mr. Labinsky stated that it is as much as l0' deep. Plans include perimeter landscaping similar to Gateway. Mr. Stairs asked what type of trees would be put in. Mr. Labinsky wasn't quite sure but stated that there would be some cabbage palms and loblollys. Mr. Valerino questioned Staff's recommendations regarding the amount of generated wastewater flow. Mr. Marder stated that the Commission could allow a conditional approval subject to correction of this. This will have to be worked out. Utilities are there and available for reclaimed water. The calculations are not acceptable to the Utility Director. Mr. Labinsky stated that because the Canal splits the site, half of the site will be private sewer and the other half will be public sewer. The proposed will have a private water and sewer system on -site, private lines are to be maintained by the owners. Mr. McClanahan asked if equal amounts of reclaimed water will be taken back. Mr. Marder stated that this is correct. The City has the lines in place. Mr. Labinsky stated that the intent is to meet all City codes in this MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF FEBRUARY 1, 1996 PAGE 4 development. Mr. Robert moved to approve based on staff's recommendations. Mr. Brooks seconded. Mr. Valerino asked if the motion incorporated the plans to become acceptable to utilities. Mr. Gibson stated "yes ". All in favor of the motion. Motion carried. Mr. Valerino moved to approve the 1/4/96 Minutes as circulated. Seconded by Mr. Robert. All in favor. Motion carried. Mr. Valerino moved to approve the 1/18/96 Minutes subject to changing the date to 1996 as opposed to 1995. Seconded by Mr. Brooks. All in favor. Motion carried. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m. Helen Stairs, Chairperson i From the Director January 24, 1996 of Planning and T0: City of Sanford Planning and Zoning Commission SUBJECT: Recommendations for Meeting of February 1, 1996 MACEDONIA P.B. CHURCH - Request dimensional variance to permit construction of a church expansion on property Zoned GC -2, General Commercial located at the northeast corner of West 13th Street and Pomegranite Avenue. 1. Site is Zoned GC -2, General Commercial and contains an existing building utilized as a church. The existing building is 30 feet by 68 feet for a total of 2040 square feet. The lot is 60 feet by 127 feet for a total of 7,6620 square feet. 2. Applicant requests permission to construct a new two story addition with a building foot -print of 30 feet by 36 feet for a total of 1,080 square feet in the foot -print and a total of 2,160 square feet in the addition. 3. Based on a site inspection it appears that the on -site parking is accommodated by perpendicular parking along Pomegranite Avenue with some parking in the area proposed for the two story addition. There is on- street parking allowed along West 13th Street. The applicant states in a letter dated December 24th that additional land has been purchased for the purpose of parking and that additional property is being negotiated for the purpose of additional parking. 4. There are various single family dwellings located immediately adjacent to the site. A church is located east of site. Based on general observation of buildings in the immediate area, many of the residential and non - residential structures appear to be close to property lines and probably do not meet current building setbacks. 5. Recommend approval of the request for a dimensional variance as set forth in the application subject to following stipulations and conditions: a. The information contained in the submittal package, including the sketch plan, is deemed accurate and true. b. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the site will undergo the City's site plan approval process and shall be subject to any and all conditions and stipulations of such process. C. Adequate off - street parking shall be provided for all activities conducted on the site including maximum occupancy of the facilities.
